“Current tensions between Europe and the US mean Putin may never have a better chance to test NATO.” Business Ukraine editor Peter Dickinson joined Телеканал FREEДОМ in Kyiv amid mounting concerns that Russia could seek to expand the war beyond Ukraine

“Europe must urgently learn to defend itself and Ukraine will be crucial to this process.” Business Ukraine editor Peter Dickinson joined Poland’s TVP World as Britain and Poland sign a landmark new defence pact

Incredible!

Russia’s new disinformation campaign portraying Europe as bloodthirsty warmongers is absurd, even by Kremlin standards. The Europeans have been appeasing Russia and steadily disarming for decades - indeed, it is hard to imagine a less militaristic organisation than the EU

"Putin is escalating his intimidation tactics because he is losing the war." Business Ukraine editor Peter Dickinson joined BBC News as Moscow threatens to increase attacks on Kyiv amid mounting Russian setbacks on the Ukrainian battlefield and deep inside Russia itself

“Putin is escalating attacks on Ukrainian civilians because his army is struggling to advance and Ukraine is bringing the war home to Russia.” Business Ukraine editor Peter Dickinson joined Turkey’s TRT World as Russia threatens fresh attacks on Kyiv

Everyone knows Ukraine’s military-industrial complex has been dispersed across the country. Russian claims to be bombing military targets in Kyiv are an obvious excuse to bomb the civilian population

“We’re open. Putin is a d!ck.” A Georgian restaurant in Kyiv’s Podil district captures the mood in the Ukrainian capital following Sunday’s massive Russian bombardment

🤯 Putin continues to launch deadly missile attacks, even as he struggles to articulate simple words.

Putin is retreating into Hitler-style delusions. He declared yesterday that “the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is gradually turning from difficult and critical into catastrophic.” Soon he will be ordering Steiner to mount a counterattack with imaginary divisions

Latest piece out in @theatlantic.com . After years of telling his population, especially in Moscow, that Russia was marching inevitably on to victory, Putin has lost control of the narrative. Ukrainian UAVs penetrating Moscow air defenses will have that effect. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Russia has reportedly suspended non-military traffic along the main land bridge highway to Crimea as Ukraine moves to cut off all Kremlin access to the occupied peninsula. Crimea was Putin's greatest triumph but it is now becoming his biggest vulnerability

Ukrainian drone strikes have forced all of central Russia’s major oil refineries – accounting for a quarter of the country’s refining capacity – to halt or reduce output spectator.com/article/puti...

“The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is gradually turning from difficult and critical to catastrophic.” As Russia’s invasion continues to unravel, Putin is retreating deeper into a Hitler-esque bunker fantasy world completely detached from reality

Zelenskyy has offered a very clear hint of where the cut off of Russia’s land bridge to Crimea is headed

🇨🇿 General Řehka: We depend on outcome of the war in Ukraine. So, supporting Ukraine isn't charity. It's in our vital interests. And we need to make sure, it's for our own good, that we integrate Ukraine into European and, hopefully, also into NATO structure as soon as possible.

Ukrainian drone forces have conducted a successful strike on a Russian patrol ship in the Caspian Sea off the coast of Dagestan, more 1000km from the Ukrainian border. Slava Ukraini!

Any questions? No questions when there’s STING 😎 In the photo — the “PIKA” crew of the 4th Border Guard Detachment, systematically destroying enemy Shaheds. The defenders operate STING by Wild Hornets — the No.1 interceptor that opened this niche in Ukraine in the first place.

Moscow has found the perfect excuse for the sudden surge in anti-Putin criticism on Russian Telegram channels. The Kremlin is now claiming that Ukraine has bought multiple accounts and using them to wage information warfare. How very convenient!

“Putin has never had a more inviting opportunity to exploit divisions within NATO.” Business Ukraine editor Peter Dickinson joined Телеканал FREEДОМ in Kyiv as the US cancels a planned troop deployment to Poland amid unprecedented transatlantic tensions

UN Secretary General Guterres has condemned this week’s attack on a UN convoy in Ukraine but refuses to say Russia did it. This is pathetic. It is also dangerous. Treating Russia as some kind of “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” only increases the sense of impunity in the Kremlin
